Valenciso Rioja Selección Especial Reserva 1.5L MAGNUM 2020

Valenciso Rioja Selección Especial Reserva is the estate's flagship, here in magnum, from old-vine Tempranillo on the clay and limestone around Ollauri.

This wine captures Rioja's grower-producer genesis. It is a selection of handpicked Tempranillo from seventeen organically managed plots within about five kilometres of the winery, no vine less than sixty years old in this cuvée, at altitudes reaching 600 metres. The sites sit in what has been proposed as the Western Sonsierra zone, taking in Villalba, Gimileo, Rodezno, Briones and Haro. The wine ferments naturally in concrete vats, then ages eighteen months in mostly low-toast Radoux French oak barriques before settling a further twenty-four months in concrete; there is no need to fine or filter it before bottling. The magnum carries all of that more slowly still.

Drinking now and built for the long haul. Serve at 16 to 18°C, decanted, with roast lamb, aged Manchego or a slow-cooked beef cheek.
